Top tips
- Faro (FAO) serves the whole Algarve: Albufeira, Lagos, Vilamoura and Tavira.
- Lagos and Ponta da Piedade are famous for clifftops and boat trips to sea caves.
- Trains and buses link coastal towns; a hire car helps for remote beaches.
- Atlantic water is cooler than the Med — great for surfing on the west coast.
- Spring and autumn are lovely for walking the Seven Hanging Valleys trail.
Before you go
- Check the latest entry requirements and travel advice on GOV.UK.
- Buy travel insurance (and carry your GHIC in Europe).
- Check baggage allowances — budget airline fees add up.
